A Chart picture is worth a
1,000 words... This adage rings especially true when it comes to
charting. Charts summarize and illuminate patterns in data in a way
that long tables of numbers simply cannot.

BI Studio is an

for multiple series, customizable legends, trend lines, and labels.
And the Chart Controls makes it easy to sort, search, filter,
group, and export the chart data.

Chart area represents a
chart area on the chart image. Within any given chart, the
inner plot
position is the rectangular area, inside the x and
y-axis lines, where the data points are drawn. The plot position is the
rectangular area that encompasses the inner plot position, the tick
marks, and the axis labels. The chart area is the rectangular area that
encompasses the plot position, the tick marks, the axis labels and
the axis titles on the chart.

When you use Shape chart
types, which include pie, doughnut, funnel, pyramid, polar, and
radar charts, the inner plotting position defines the size of the
chart type shape.A Chart Area

The data series or chart
series are used to show data as a chart type (bar, column, line
etc.). A data series stores data
point objects and also stores attributes of the data series. For
example, a data series has a color attribute, background image
attribute, background gradient attribute, and so forth.

The data point objects that
belong to a series also have their own attributes. Normally, if the
same attribute is set for a data point and the series to which it
belongs, the data point attribute has precedence. When a series is
created, it is automatically assigned to the chart area object
named "Default", or to the first available chart area in the chart
area collection if the "Default" objects does not exist.
